I made an error when i written the first question this is the corrected one sorry.I will like you to help me out with the answer for this question on Joint and By-product please I am having some complications. Thank you.

PR Ltd manufactures two joint products,P&R in a common process. Data for June are as follows.

in the last example..the professor adds the further cost back to the step where we r finding cost p.u
why do we add it back if we have already deducted it in an earlier step?
because i tried to solve the question myself as well..and in the answer..at the end of the book..they havent added the further cost in to the cost p.u

i just wanna be sure..if i should add it if i get an question relationg to cost p.u or not

It was subtracted in order to get a figure for the realisable value at the point it left the joint process – this was simply for the purpose of splitting the joint costs.
As a result, the figures of $3.16 and $2.02 in the answer in the course notes are the costs per kg at the point at which the two products leave the joint process.
However since further work is needed after they leave the joint process, to get the final cost of the completely finished products you then need to add on the cost of the further work.
It depends what the question asks for – the costs when the products leave the joint process, or the final cost when they are fully finished.

the lectures are really helpfull, but the voic of the teacher is so irritating that I can’t bear it any more. A specially when he talks 10 minuts about some not important things. Agrr… sorry for the comment but I had to expres my irritation
